44 9. GLOSSARY Afterimage The Afterimage is particular to LCD monitors when the monitor screen is left on for a long period without use. The Afterimage can be removed gradually by changing the displayed image. Clock With the analog input signal display, the analog signal is converted to a digital signal by the LCD circuitry. To convert the signal correctly, the LCD monitor needs to produce the same number clock pulse as the dot clock of the graphics system. When the clock pulse is not correctly set, some vertical bars of distortion are displayed on the screen. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data from the PC directly without loss with the signal transition method TMDS. There are two kinds of DVI connectors. One is DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The other is DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs. DVI DMPM (DVI Digital Monitor Power Management) The Power management system for the digital interface. The Monitor ON status (operation mode) and the Active Off status (power-saving mode) are indispensable for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor s power mode. EIZO MPMS (EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling) EIZO MPMS, EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling also enables power saving on the monitor side. EIZO MPMS recognizes video signals from the PC when the PC is in a power saving mode and reduces energy consumption of the monitor. Gain Adjustment Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the illumination amount passed through each color s filter. Gamma Generally, the relationship that the light intensity values of a monitor change nonlinearly to the input signal level is called Gamma Characteristic. On the monitor, low gamma values display the whitish images and high gamma values display the high contrast images GLOSSARY
